Ok, so not everything I do and read has to do with user-interfaces. Surprising…but true.

From time to time I run across things that I find interesting for one reason or another, but are not associated with the main purpose of the site. I call these “tangents”.

So the first official tangent is “The Last Question”, which is a short story by Isaac Asimov. Now I have never read any of his work; I have meant to, but I haven’t worked it in as of yet. Today I ran into and read “The Last Question” for the second time, and even after rereading it I still find it fascinating. It makes me think and wonder, which is the point of all good sci-fi is it not?

So if you have about 10 - 15 minutes to kill, take a gander. You can find it all over the net, but here is a quick link for you. Enjoy.
